Marks & Spencer has expanded its vegan Plant Kitchen range with a selection of new options which are available from today.
The new dishes include No Chicken Kievs filled with garlic sauce, No Tuna & Sweetcorn Sandwich, No Duck Spring Rolls, and ToFish & Chips among others.*
‘Super exciting’
“With one in four M&S customers choosing a more flexitarian diet this is a super exciting trend that’s showing absolutely no signs of slowing down,” April Preston, Director of Product Development at M&S, said in a statement sent to Plant Based News.
“Following on from the successful launch of our Plant Kitchen range earlier this year, we’ve turned the heat up and challenged ourselves, focusing particularly on turning well-loved products into plant-based versions, looking at alternative plant proteins, experimenting in flavours and celebrating vegetables in all their forms.”

‘Climate-conscious audience’
“Veganuary is creating a new wave of consumers with strong ethics and a big appetite,” Zoe West, Corporate Outreach Manager at Veganuary, added.
“This a real opportunity for businesses to improve and expand their vegan offerings for the growing climate-conscious audience.
“We’re delighted that Marks and Spencer’s has risen to this challenge – helping people to live more lightly on the earth while still eating food they love – we can’t wait to try the new Plant Kitchen products.”
